Sysname
[methylated methoxylated-aromatic-compound-specific corrinoid protein]:tetrahydrofolaten methyltransferase
Reaction(IUBMB)
a [methyl-Co(III) methoxylated-aromatic-compound-specific corrinoid protein] + tetrahydrofolate = N5-methyltetrahydrofolate + a [Co(I) methoxylated-aromatic-compound-specific corrinoid protein] [RN:
R02289 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
[methyl-Co(III) methoxylated-aromatic-compound-specific corrinoid protein];
tetrahydrofolate [CPD:
C00101 ]
Product
N5-methyltetrahydrofolate;
[Co(I) methoxylated-aromatic-compound-specific corrinoid protein]
Comment
The enzyme, found in acetogenic bacteria, participates in a pathway for the degradation of methoxylated aromatic compounds (methoxydotrophic growth). The enzyme catalyses the transfer of a methyl group bound to the cobalt cofactor of a dedicated corrinoid protein (MtvC) to tetrahydrofolate. cf. EC
2.1.1.384 , [methyl-Co(III) methoxylated-aromatic-compound-specific corrinoid protein]---tetrahydromethanopterin methyltransferase.
